AWS Cloud Solutions Architect building scalable enterprise architectures and GenAI systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Cloud Solutions Architect with 4+ years of experience designing, deploying, and optimising AWS-based architectures for enterprise customers. As an AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional, I bring hands-on expertise across compute, networking, storage, and AI/ML services.
I own end-to-end technical relationships with enterprise clients, guiding AWS solution design, cloud-native modernisation, security posture, and migration strategies aligned to AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices. I design resilient, scalable architectures using services such as VPC, EC2, RDS, S3, ELB, Auto Scaling, Route 53, Lambda, and IAM.
I also architect and deploy Generative AI and Agentic AI solutions in enterprise environments using AWS Bedrock, SageMaker, and third-party LLM integrations. I evaluate AI outputs and system architectures against structured technical rubrics to ensure logical consistency, security alignment, and quality standards at scale.
I combine a builder mindset with strong stakeholder communication—advising C-level and senior executives on adoption roadmaps, ROI models, and risk mitigation while translating technical recommendations into business outcomes. Alongside delivery, I create reusable reference architectures, white papers, and technical content, and I run workshops and training to evangelise cloud adoption and enable self-service use of AWS.
